Tens of thousands of people moved to the streets of Berlin to protest what they see as a violation of a banned German policy after the war.
The protests came after some parties voted alongside the far -right party, the alternative to Germany (AFD), on a non -binding decision on immigration last week.
The leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Fredchich Mirz, who tends to be the next German advisor, tried to rely on AFD twice last week, including a bill aimed at curbing immigration.
This step has angered many, with the organizers of the demonstration, which said that people have turned to condemn what they see as a violation of the country's agreement not to work with the far right at the national level.
The demonstrations come three weeks before the national elections and track similar protests throughout Germany on Saturday.
The police estimate that about 160,000 people went out to protest on Sunday. The gathering began outside the Bundestag building, the parliamentary construction in Germany and moved towards the CDU headquarters.
The demonstration, Anna Schwarrs, 34, told AFP that it joins a political gathering for the first time because “we can no longer avoid our outlook.”
She said: “(We want) as much noise as possible to call for self -described democratic parties to protect this democracy.”
CDU leads to the polls before the sudden elections in Germany this month. AFD is currently voting in second place, although Mirz has excluded any type of alliance with them.
On Wednesday, an undisputed proposal was transferred on the changes in the Immigration Law through the German Parliament.
Two days later, a draft law aimed at reducing the numbers of immigration and the rights of family reunification by the German parliament was rejected by 350 votes to 338.
This strategy was widely condemned, including Mirz's predecessor as a leader in the International Development Agreement and former Chancellor Angela Merkel, who accused him of raising his back on a previous pledge not to work with AFD in Bundestag.
Mirz defended his actions as “necessary” and said he did not ask for the party's support.
He said last week: “The right decision does not become a mistake just because the wrongful people agree on it.”
